Nothing much going on here at the moment, hence the lack of a post for the past week or so.

A weekend to relax is something I'm looking forward to. I'm in the market for a new printer because my Epson R210 seems to have gone to meet its maker. There's a possibility thats because I haven't been using genuine Epson cartridges, but I think the price differential makes that a rather silly option. Anyway, I don't want to spend too much money, and it doesn't have to be a whiz-bang all singing, all dancing high tech unit. I'll check some of the IT and computer stores tomorrow afternoon and probably buy on the spot if I find something decent.

Sunday afternoon I'm off to a Barbra concert. My choir, SGLC is uniting with the Temple Emmanuel Choir of Woolhara to perform what should be a great show. Not singing in this one, so it'll be good to watch it.

Have a great weekend all. To those of you coming down from Thanksgiving, hope you had a great day.

Today, I tick off one more notch in the barrel of life. Thus far I've ticked off 56 of them. Hopefully there's still some room for a few more. A very early start made a couple of drinks after work with good friends that much more worthwhile. Today's birthday marks the beginning of Party Season. A session on Friday with a mob of school and football friends I've known forever, then Sunday choir is singing at a Kid's Day Out. It won't be long then before the Genie Christmas Party, then its time to buy Christmas Cards and think about gifts for special people. The trick is to stay focused, stay calm whilst those around you are looking for some direction.

A cup of tea, and some cheese and cracker snic-snacs, marks the end of a great day.

Hello,
Things have been pretty quiet for me for the past week or so, since the Food and Wine Fair. Nothing too dramatic going on at work (touch forehead) and this last weekend was fairly uneventful. Went into Sydney for genealogy volunteering last Saturday, and then a couple of beers. Sunday was just pottering around in town. I actually managed to stay away from work for much of the weekend (more or less).

Choir tomorrow evening, which is always a treat and then I'm doing a course this weekend. It's accelerated learning, 4 weeks into 1 weekend. My kind of training! It's an impulse thing. I saw a review in the newspaper today, and thought, why not have a little fun and learn something at the same time. I'll let you know how it goes.

Apart from that the weather is cool, there's not much rain around, interest rates went up by a 1/4%(for the 3rd time this year (now about 6%, which means the mortgage either will cost more, or be extended, and it looks like Hilary is on a roll.
